Finasteride and natural dht blockers

[Sonicblu650]

Im feeling better but still have pelvic pain but zero sexual side effects at all. I was thinking if this doesn't go away in another month or two i need to make changes. Here s my idea; maybe use 1mg propecia like 2or 3 times a week and use like saw palmetto,nettle root type dht blockers on the off days to just kinda help the dht levels to stay down between propecia doses. Any thoughts on that? Also thinking about topical finasteride. Doses topical finasteride work well for hair? And how/where do you get good formulations of it? There's something odd about my side effects. I know topical finasteride still goes systemic but i would think it would be slightly less than oral and maybe that would be enough to ease my side effects idk... What do you guys think?

Or maybe 1mg propecia 2or 3 times a week and use revivogen or something along those lines. Just thinking of possible solutions if this doesn't work out

There's no convincing evidence for those natural DHT blockers.

There are new topical finasteride formulations coming out soon, including one from Hesson & Wong, they'll be publishing their stuff in the coming months, we'll find out.

As we've discussed many times, propecia is nearly dose-independent. If you want to really reduce the dose, you'd have to do like ~0.05 mg, which would mean dissolving it in a solvent, and taking a teaspoon a day, and making sure guests don't chug the bottle.

i know my questions seem redundant, i just Don't think my side effects are from lower dht levels or necessarily even from finasteride. Im just trying to have a backup plan in case this doesn't resolve itself. The antibiotic seemed to help the first two days, not so much now... Maybe my urologist was wrong. And the weirdest thing is sometimes the finasteride seems to help the pain... I just Don't know

Valium helps the pain alot so i think its pelvic floor muscles. Whether something internal is causing it, or if its just from stress and anxiety that may never be known. I took a special urine test at the hospital that takes over a week to come back, but my urologist wanted me to start the antibiotic, i wanted to wait until the test came back, but he s the dr. So idk i guess we ll see in a day or two if there was any bacteria. All the standard urine tests were clean

I think there is more of a difference in the doses than we think also. The quality of my hair went to hell when lowering my dose to .25 and .5 when i was experimenting for a month
